PLATES CXXXVI CXXXVII.
Sixteen Designs for Sarcophagus's, or Monumental Urns, in the Antique Taste.

PLATE CXXXVIII.
Three Designs for Vases, done for the Right Honourable the Earl of Oxford. There are two Vases well executed in Portland Stone according to the middle Draught, which are set upon two large peers on each side of the principal Walk in the Garden at Wimpole in Cambridgeshire.

PLATES CXXXIX, CXL, CXLI, CXLII, CXLIII, CXLIV.
Fifty four Draughts of Vases, &c. in the Antique manner, made for several persons at different times. Many of them have been executed both in Marble and Metal.

PLATE CXLV.
Eight Draughts of Marble Cisterns for Buffets.

PLATE CXLVI.
Six other Cisterns rais'd upon Pedestals, which may also serve for Fonts,

PLATE CXLVII.
Eight Designs for Marble or Stone Tables, for Gardens or Summer-Houses.

PLATES CXLVIII, CXLIX.
eighteen Designs for Pedestals of Dials. In my Opinion it is much better for Gentlemen to have Pedestals of this sort, that to have their dials supported by Figures, unless they be very well executed: These may be done by a common Workman, and are equally useful and less expensive.

PLATE CL.
Fifteen Pedestals for Busto's.
